Lamborghini-inspired Panigale announced by Ducati
More than just sharing a passion for Italian engineering, performance, and speed, Ducati and Lamborghini are linked through their corporate structure. Both prestigious companies are part of Audi AG, and their parent company, the Volkswagen Group.
This shared ownership creates a direct familial connection within the automotive world. Consequently, it comes as no surprise when these two celebrated Italian marques, despite their distinct product lines, occasionally join forces on special projects, leveraging their common values of high-performance design and engineering under the same overarching corporate umbrella.
For 2025, Ducati and Lamborghini are partnering again for a 630-unit-only Panigale V4 Lamborghini. Deliveries will start in September.
“When two unmistakable design languages meet, such as those of Lamborghini and Ducati, the result is the perfect expression of values such as our Italian spirit and beauty that set us apart,” said Stephan Winkelmann, Chairman and CEO Automobili Lamborghini.
The Ducati Panigale V4 Lamborghini draws inspiration from the revolutionary supercar from the Sant’Agata Bolognese-based manufacturer, sharing not only its spirit of extreme sporting performance and exclusivity but also stylistic elements such as the iconic livery, the forged rims, and the carbon fiber components, including the roof, engine hood, and spoiler.
To create the V4 Lamborghini, Ducati's Centro Stile worked alongside Lamborghini’s to design the unmistakable livery and a series of unique details inspired by the Revuelto, creating an exclusive bike limited to 630 numbered examples.
The forged aluminum wheel rims have been specifically designed for this motorbike and feature the same style as those of the Revuelto, while the tail piece and wings have been reworked by Ducati's designers following the lines of the super sports car from Sant’Agata Bolognese.
The Panigale V4 Lamborghini is rendered particularly unique by the livery based on the black color of carbon fiber with visible texture, details in Verde Scandal, Grigio Telesto and Grigio Acheso, and the dedicated seat, which takes inspiration from the interior of the Revuelto.
As further proof of the attention to every single detail in this collaboration between the two brands, the bodywork and remaining components such as the heat shield, heel guard, and front and rear mudguards are entirely in carbon fiber, using the same weave featured in Lamborghini’s supercars. On the bike’s symmetry line, where the weave intersects, the typical herringbone design is found, the result of artisanal work of the highest precision.
The bike is equipped with an approved AkrapoviÄ titanium silencer with carbon end caps, which, together with a dedicated calibration for the engine, bring the maximum power of the Panigale V4 Lamborghini to 218.5 horsepower. The high number of carbon fiber components, combined with the silencer, bring the weight of the bike down to 185 kg, almost 2 kg less than the Panigale V4 S, with a power-to-weight ratio that goes from 1.15 to 1.18 HP/Kg. The Panigale V4 Lamborghini is the most powerful and lightest of the family.
The specifications of the Panigale V4 Lamborghini are rounded off by the dry clutch and adjustable footrests, brake and clutch levers, and counterweights made from billet aluminum. Those wanting to use their motorcycle on the track will have a racing tank cap in billet aluminum, brake caliper conveyors, a carbon fiber open clutch cover, and a license plate holder removal kit, all included with the bike.
The bike is further enhanced by the plate on the engine bearing its name (Desmosedici Stradale); the triple clamp machined from billet aluminum, and the dedicated dashboard animation at key-on, including the name of the motorbike and the example number. The same number is also laser-etched onto the aluminum badge of the ignition key.
Each Panigale V4 Lamborghini is supplied with a certificate of authenticity and a dedicated motorbike cover that is delivered in a special personalized box that matches the livery. Moreover, every Panigale V4 Lamborghini will be delivered in an exclusive, customized wooden crate, complete with a dedicated rear stand, once again matching the bike’s livery.
